In a little over 4 weeks time, Team Margot Rowers will be travelling to Ireland for the start of the Celtic Challenge 2017 – a 95 mile rowing race across the Irish Sea, from Arklow to Aberystwyth, likely to take around 24 hours to complete.
Many of the Team Margot Rowers headed down to Lymington over the weekend for more sea rowing experience and in particular, to practise changeovers…
THANK YOU to everyone involved: all the rowers, support team & supporters. And also to Tom Singlehurst for this fantastic video.
More shortly !
